Socket colors have remained the same, however, it looks as though socket bonuses will be focused around +dodge rating

Changing socket colors from the current line up (chest with 1red, 1blue; helm with 1meta, 1blue) most likely not going to happen

While these are not the final numbers and only comparing the Legs/Shoulders/Handguards from t7/8, let's hope they add more dodge rating to the helm and chest items. For overall avoidance, more dodge would make sense to complete the set.

How are you supposed to get a 4-piece armor bonus when there are only 3 pieces?

For those of you wondering about the color of the leg armor, the model is currently a placeholder. Currently the leg armor has the same model as the 10-man Tier 8 legs. (Valorous Darkruned Legguards, http://ptr.wowhead.com/?item=45338)

Looking at the gear, it made my both smile and cry.

Smile: 1. Clear increases in Stamina, which is always nice, and in one way expected. I'd be turning in my new grave if I saw that there was lesser Stamina on Tier 8.5 to Tier 7.5. 2. Parry has been given a big boost, with dodge taking a socket bonus position. Nice to see that parry isn't forgotten about. Certain worries of the Blade Barrier changes are indeed quelled to a degree with this itemization.3. Big smiles at the set bonuses. (2) set is nice threat generator, but my favored is most likely going to be the (4) set, making Anit-Magic Shell all the more useful, seeing as it's already a live saving ability on any magic entity, it now serves for bosses of a pure physical nature. Coupled with the Glyph of Anti-Magic Shell, you will be looking 15% damage reduction for 7 seconds, considering that your Blood Runes should always be on CD, and seeing as the new Blade Barrier gives 5% damage reduction instead of 10% parry.

Cry:1. The over-haul of expertise rating is unwarranted at best. With current gear, I am already over-cap. To see the tier gear bring mass amounts of expertise rating is going to cost me a lot of gold to replace gems and enchants. What's more worrying is that the majority of my gear doesn't even have expertise rating enchants or gems. So I'm really confused about what I'm going to do.2. The lack of hit rating is going to hit duel-wield Death Knights hard, pun unintended. I'm currently duel-wield tanking with roughly 10.5% hit rating percentage when raid buffed. This is going to drop 1% at least with this new gear, meaning that I'm going to have to really work on my gems and enchants, meaning that I could be potentially missing out on Stamina and Mitigation gems and enchants.

Known tokens locations as of 16th April@04:45AM are:

Head: Thorim.Chest: Hodir.Hands: Mimiron.Leggings: Freya.Spaulders: Unknown yet, but Ensidia has cleaned every boss except Yogg-saron at the time of writing, therefore it's safe to assume the spaulders drop off the one and only remaining boss; Yogg-saron.

This comment will probably get downrated over time as the database gets filled and links are being fixed between the items and their respective tokens but if you want the info in the meantime, at least... it's "there".

Answer: 2h tank, I know there is a lot of discussion about this, but believe me, go read Elitist Jerks, its a lot easier on your gems/enchants and your healers.

Quick question, To get the set bonuses, does it have to be the conqueror's tank T8 or can it be Valorous too, since they give the same bonuses.Better to just reply, since less people will ask the question :)

Is it me, or does the shirt and pants match so well, it makes you look like your wearing a jumpsuit without a belt?
